2015 All Star Game Thread

[Soxfan in Fla]

Now I know why I've never heard of Ciara. She sucks. That was pathetic.

 

[fineyoungarm]

I guess it would be gross to get Ted Williams' head out there.

 

[Ale Xander]

That's a lot of healthcare costs walking

 

[fineyoungarm]

Pretty nice swing - eh?

 

[etakbear]

I miss baseball. Is it Friday yet?

 

[FlowerCity]

Why exactly were death panels so unpopular?

 

[runnels3]

Still, the best closer in Red Sox history.

 
Damn right.
 
June 9, 1963: At Baltimore The Monster starts the 9th inning with the score tied 2-2 . He goes 6 scoreless innings striking out 10, and the Sox win in 14, 3-2. Two days later on June 11, 1963 at Detroit, Radatz enters a 3-3 game in the 7th and goes 8 2/3 scoreless innings, striking out 11. The Sox score 4 in the top of the 15th, Dick holds on and has his 2nd win in 3 days. His totals for this span: 14 2/3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 21 K.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bench is changing jackets more often than the Oscar's MC.

 

[cwright]

Half of these players look like they have no clue who these guys are.

 

[fineyoungarm]

This is breaking my heart.

 

[DJnVa]

So the game was intentionally advertised at 7, without any mention of CT. It's now 8:16 and they stated they're going to do another ceremony before the game starts? I'm starting to think 2002 was a high point.

 
I'm a fan of your posting here tonight, but if you thought that the 7 pm thing was anything other than CT, that's on you.
 
Although it is 8:20 now. Let's get this shit going.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Koufax kicked Yankee ass. Applaud him.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Note 21 Ks - then a six pack

 

[fineyoungarm]

Willie Mays - I remain upset.

I knew it was CT, I'm simply pointing out that as far as I saw, FOX and MLB.com made no mention of it. As far as I'm aware, that's atypical for them. And it's now going on 8:30 ET.

 

[soxhop411]

Can we start sometime before midnight please?

 

[fineyoungarm]

Half of these players look like they have no clue who these guys are.

Most of them know.

 

[Byrdbrain]

So when one of these four passes who is next?
 
Edit:Seaver? Schmidt?
Edit2:I meant to join the top 4

So....who are you?

 

[canderson]

Give MLB a break, they never said they intended to speed up/shorten the length of pregame festivities.

 

[DJnVa]

If that guy WON the role of the new Colonel, who the fuck didn't? Johnny Drama?

 

[fineyoungarm]

Hopefully Rose - what a drag he is.

Red Sox board, so Yaz.

A new poster can be aware of the 2002 ASG you know?

 

[Ale Xander]

Seacrest is more annoying than Harold

 

[Don Bradman]

Half of these players look like they have no clue who these guys are.

 
It looked like Pujols had to tell Trout who Aaron was and then he starting clapping

 

[fineyoungarm]

Probably a pretty good time to take out Joe with a hard slide.

 

[DJnVa]

Seacrest is more annoying than Harold

 
How crazy that the Yankee fan they were surprising had a Yankee shirt on!!!!

 

[bankshot1]

I don't put Bench remotely close to Aaron, Mays or Koufax.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That's Darrell Hammond, n'est pas?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

A new poster can also answer for himself.
 
But most likely, he's someone's gimmick account.

 

[fineyoungarm]

"I'm Joe Buck and I really don't like baseball, although I would be a crappy insurance salesman without it."

 

[ifmanis5]

With each passing year Buck looks more and more like a Thunderbirds marionette.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Pandering. Who should be #4? (Rose)

 

[DJnVa]

Bryce Harper is in his 4th season and is the youngest player in the All Star game for the third time.

 

[fineyoungarm]

LOL

 

[Ale Xander]

he was a Tim salmon fan

 

[fineyoungarm]

Bryce Harper is in his 4th season and is the youngest player in the All Star game for the third time.

Yet, he is a disappointment.

 

[soxhop411]

Any day now.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Best all time at his position?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

"I'm Joe Buck and I really don't like baseball, although I would be a crappy insurance salesman without it."

He's also a crappy golf announcer without it

 

[FlowerCity]

So....who are you?

 
I am the one who knocks.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Berra

 

[DJnVa]

Shitty gimmick account, naming himself after Rochester NY.

 

[soxhop411]

I'm tempted to put on the Spanish broadcast if Harold Reynolds becomes extra stupid

 

[Al Zarilla]

Just 3 Royals starting now. Not so farcical.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

 
I am the one who knocks.

Now that's an answer.  Welcome.

 

[Traut]

I hope he dies from sepsis.

Brain eating amoeba. 

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Berra

You really think Berra was better than Bench? 

 

[DJnVa]

If Brock Holt wins MVP, Flower CIty should be given membership.
